Foreman / Sharjah

The spark that catches at noon and the copper that leaves at 10 pm. We see both.

Sharjah is the UAE's manufacturing heartland for owner-run units: metal fabrication and steel workshops, plastics and packaging lines, building-materials plants, and furniture and food units spread across its industrial areas and free zones. Almost every one has cameras, and almost none are watched. We watch every camera continuously and send a Telegram alert with a photo, the camera and the time when something needs you. Free 7-day trial on up to 32 cameras, no card.

01

Built for Sharjah's owner-run factories

Sharjah's industry is owner-run: workshops and mid-sized plants where the proprietor knows every machine, every worker and every dirham of stock, and where a single bad night, whether a fire, a theft or a machine down all shift, lands directly on the owner's desk. There is no corporate security department. There is a wall of cameras and a recorder in the office.

We give those cameras someone to report to. We apply the rules you set, in your own words, and send you a photo, or call you for urgent events, when one is broken. The cameras you already paid for stop being an archive of losses and start preventing them.

  • No new hardware: works with the recorder and cameras you already own
  • Built for owner-run units, not enterprise control rooms
  • Telegram alerts with a photo, the camera and the time

02

Fire watch for workshops full of fuel

Plastics, foam, packaging, timber, paint and oils: much of what Sharjah's factories work with burns fast. Add hot-work sparks from welding and cutting, machines running warm through summer, and stock stacked close, and a small ignition has everything it needs.

We watch your cameras for the first visible smoke and flame around machines, stores and yards, and send you a photo while it is still one corner of one bay.

  • Early visual smoke and flame detection from the cameras you have
  • Covers stores, machine bays and yards, not just the office corridor

03

Night theft and idle machines

Metal stock, copper cable, tools and finished goods have a way of walking out of industrial areas at night. We know when your premises should be empty and tell you about any person or vehicle near your stores, gate or yard when no one should be there. The rule is yours, in your own words: "If anyone enters the raw-material store after 10 pm, call me and send a photo."

During the day, machines standing still while you pay wages around them cost you too: late starts after breaks, long unexplained stops, a press idle half the afternoon. Idle-machine checks, and helmet and vest checks in the zones you choose, are set up with you for your unit.

  • After-hours intrusion alerts around stores, gates and yards
  • Idle-machine checks for late starts and long stops
  • A daily summary and a weekly PDF report

Questions

Questions, answered.

Will Foreman work on my existing DVR, or do I need new cameras?

We work with the cameras and recorders you already have. Hikvision, Dahua, CP Plus, Uniview, Axis and Hanwha all connect, and any standard RTSP or ONVIF DVR or NVR works too. No new cameras, no rewiring.

Is this a replacement for my fire alarm?

No. We read the visible signs of smoke and flame from your cameras. We are not a heat or smoke sensor, so keep your certified fire-alarm systems in place; we add an early visual warning on top.

My unit runs two shifts and the yard is dark at night. Does it still work?

Yes. We watch continuously across every shift, and our own AI models, trained in-house, are built for real factory conditions, dust, glare and low light included. The free trial shows you how your own cameras perform.

What does it cost for a typical Sharjah unit?

Pricing is per camera, four cameras minimum. Ask us for a quote for your camera count. Start with the free 7-day trial on up to 32 cameras, no card, and judge it on real alerts from your own unit. When the trial ends without a plan, monitoring stops.

Where does my video go?

Detection runs inside your unit, so your recordings stay on site. We send event photos and clips, a small preview photo of each camera every few minutes, and live video only when you open it. We never sell your data and never train on your footage.

Do my workers get profiled or tracked individually?

No. We watch for events, such as fire, intrusion and the helmet and vest checks you choose, and alert you with a photo of the event.
